1.Current Status of the Company


(1) Business<br>Progress and Results

As a result of efforts to balance the prevention of the spread of the COVID-19 infection with economic activities, the global economy showed a gradual recovery mainly in Europe and the U.S. during the current fiscal year. On the other hand, the inbound market in Japan remained in a prolonged state of stagnation due to a drop in the number of foreign visitors to Japan. In addition, the outlook remains uncertain, as international tensions that began in the second half of the fiscal year and China’s zero-COVID policy have had a major impact on international logistics, and the accompanying effects on the domestic and overseas economies must be closely monitored.

Under these circumstances, we realized the IPO on the NASDAQ market in the U.S. in January 2022. We are striving to continually enhance our social and economic value by providing competitive, high-quality products and services in both the B to C and B to B fields globally.

As a result, the Company's net sales for the current fiscal year were 25,655,250,000 yen (increased by 9.3% as compared to the same period of the previous year), operating income was 706,742,000 yen (decreased by 44.0% as compared to the same period of the previous year), and ordinary income was 486,715,000 yen (decreased by 48.0% as compared to the same period of the previous year).

The<br>Company established a syndicated loan facility of 7,500,000,000 yen with MUFG Bank, Ltd. and Mizuho Bank, Ltd. as lead managers, to provide<br>for working capital needs.

The<br>Company raised 1,000,000,000 yen from Mezzanine Solution No. 4 Investment Limited Liability Partnership to be used for capital expenditures.

The Company raised<br>funds in the amount of 2,619,948,000 yen by issuing American Depository Shares on the NASDAQ market in the U.S., mainly to fund capital<br>expenditures.

(5) Tasks<br>to be untaken by management

Although the global situation and business environment are expected to change drastically in the future due to the impact of the new coronavirus infection, we will focus on actions that prioritize the safety of our customers, employees, and other stakeholders, respond quickly and appropriately to the ever-changing situation, and strive to become a company that can support the global economy as befits a company listed on NASDAQ in the United States.

Our priority business and financial tasks to be addressed are as follows:

Through proper financial analysis, we will work to create a financial management system that enables us to quantitatively assess our company and the issues we face, and to strive for improvement.

We consider the safety of our customers, business partners, and employees to be our highest priority, and we are working to prevent infection and the spread of infection by thoroughly managing the physical condition of our employees, limiting business travel, reviewing work schedules, and introducing web conferencing.

IndividualNote Table

1.Notes to Significant Accounting Policies


(1) Valuation<br>standards and methods for securities

Stocks of subsidiaries and affiliates -- Stated at cost based on the moving average method

(2) Valuation<br>standards and methods for inventories

Cost method based on the moving average method -- The amount on the balance sheet is calculated by writing down the book value based on a decline in profitability.

(3) Depreciation<br>method for fixed assets
Property, plant and equipment (excluding lease assets) -- Declining-balance<br>method (except for buildings acquired on or after April 1, 1998) Buildings (excluding annexed facilities) acquired on or after April<br>1, 1998 and annexed facilities and structures acquired on or after April 1, 2016 are depreciated using the straight-line method).
--- ---

The main supported years are as follows:

Buildings 38~50 years

Building ancillary equipment 6~18 years

Buildings 10~30 years

Vehicles 2~7 years

Tool and appliance spare parts 3~18 years

Leased assets

Lease assets related to finance lease transactions that do not transfer ownership.

We use the straight-line method with the lease term as the useful life and the residual value is set as zero.

(4) Basis for provisions
Allowance<br>for doubtful accounts
--- ---

The allowance for doubtful accounts is provided for possible losses on receivables based on the historical write-off ratio for general receivables and on the estimated amount of uncollectible receivables based on a case-by-case determination of collectability for specific receivables such as doubtful receivables.

Reward<br>and lead when gold

To provide for the payment of bonuses to employees, the Company accrues an estimated amount of bonuses to be paid, corresponding to the current fiscal year.

Retirement benefit reserve

To provide for the payment of retirement benefits to employees, the Company records an amount recognized to have accrued at the end of the current fiscal year based on the retirement benefit obligation at the end of the current fiscal year. The retirement benefit obligation is calculated based on the required amount at the end of the fiscal year in accordance with the retirement benefit regulations.

Allowance<br>for point card certificates

The unused amount of points issued under the point system for the purpose of sales promotion is recognized based on the estimated future use of the points, which is based on the historical usage rate and other factors.

14
(5) Basis for recording revenues and expenses

The Company’s principal business is the sale of cosmetics and household goods. The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of these products at the time of delivery because the Company believes that the customer obtains control of the products, and the performance obligation is satisfied at the time the products are delivered. Revenue is measured at the amount of consideration promised in the contract with the customer, less returns, discounts, and rebates. Consideration for transactions is received within one year of satisfaction of the performance obligation.

(6) Other important matters that form the basis for the preparation<br>of financial statements

Accounting for consumption taxes

Consumption taxes are accounted for using the tax exclusion method.

2. Notes on Changes in Accounting Policies


Application of Accounting Standard for Revenue Recognition

Effective from the current fiscal year, the Company has applied the “Accounting Standard for Revenue Recognition” (ASBJ Statement No. 29, March 30, 2018). The accounting standard was applied retrospectively, and the cumulative effect of the change in accounting policy was reflected in the carrying amount of net assets at the beginning of the current fiscal year. As a result, the beginning balance of retained earnings in the statement of changes in net assets increased by 7,584,000 yen after retrospective application.

(Note1) How to calculate the market value of financial products


Assets


(1) Cash<br> and deposits

Since all of these are settled in a short period of time, the market value is close to the book value, so the book value is used.

(2) Accounts<br> receivable trade (3) Accounts receivable

The value obtained by deducting the allowance for doubtful accounts from the book value is shown.

Negativebonds


(4) Accounts<br> payable (5) Short-term borrowings (6) Other accounts payables

Since all of these items are settled in the short term, their fair value approximates their book value.

(7) Long-term<br> Debt
(8) Short-term<br> lease obligations (9) Long-term other payables
--- ---

As for these, the book value is used as the market value because the amount recorded on the balance sheet and the actual value are not important.

(10) Long-term<br> debt

The actual price of the above items is calculated by discounting the total value of principal and interest at the interest rate assumed when a new loan is made.

(Note2) Carrying amount of financial instruments whose fair value is extremely difficult to determine

(Unit: thousand yen)

Balance<br> sheet amount
Subsidiary stock 0
Shares of subsidiaries and affiliates 40,000

Stocks of subsidiaries and affiliates are not subject to fair value disclosure because they have no market value and it is extremely difficult to determine their fair value.
